100/200 vs 300 cab differences
What are the differences between the cabs? I just purchased a 66 W200 crew cab and I'm looking for a donor cab. I found a 68 300. I want to know if the cab mount bracket and end plates will interchange? But I know the floors are different.
Thanks Keith

When I say donor cab, just a single cab for parts. I need to do some roof repair and cowl repair. Not trying to VIN swap something, LOL. I realized how that may have come across.

Everything is identical except the tranny hump and steering column penetration.

Really? The tunnel width is what makes the floor pans different? That's good news.PwrWgnDrvr wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 11:35 amEverything is identical except the tranny hump and steering column penetration.

Re: 100/200 vs 300 cab differences
Its tunnel height and shape that's different. Width is the same. I sent the pieces to Ben that he needed to convert his 300 70 replacement cab to a 64 D200 cab. A 300 cab sits higher above the frame, so the hump has to be lower to line up properly with the tranny and transfer case shift sticks.

The brake and clutch pedal assembly is located differently also.

Re: 100/200 vs 300 cab differences
If the steering shaft is located differently from the 100/200 cab, wouldn't the pedals have to be located in a different spot too?
I've never measured or looked at the difference, but I recall Powerwagon John telling me the bucket seats he found for his 69 W300 didn't work too well because they didn't put him in directly in front of the steering wheel. Factory 1 ton buckets have a SERT number and correct this issue.
Re: 100/200 vs 300 cab differences
The 300 chassis is narrower than the 100/200 chassis. The steering box bolts to chassis thereby causing the steering column to conflict with brake pedal; so pedal assembly is relocated.

Pedal assy is 2" to the right, along with the masters.
